We have about 2 months to go too!  Our mob seems to be in denial - meeting
attendance went from low to non-existent, exacerbated by summer holidays.

One person is against the interruption to visual contact that one obvious

Good point.  I'm not a gardener (yet) - a couple of members who have done very

off if I don't receive the same right to use as everyone else even if I do 
little
to help for a while.
